dimension.

The body 1 may receive a tray 12 having an outturned rim 13 and the point at which the hinge 3 is situated may be bent to exn tend inwardv slightly rover the rim 13 as indicated at 14 in Fig. 4. The inside of the lid 2 may carry a mirror 15 secured in place by a retaining vring 16 which4 has one edge bent to extend 4to loverlap the mirror 15' as indicated at 17. The outer edge 4of this rim may be bent as indicated at 18 to lie against the inner surface of the reduced portion 4 and this edge may be cut away as indicated at..19 adjacent ythe hinge 3 to facilitate putting the mirror and retaining ring in place. This ring 16 should fit snugly within the lid 2 and the bent part 18 should preferably be resilient so that it ywill engage the reduced portion 4 enough to hold the mirror in the lid 2 and yet permit the mirror and the ringto be easily inserted into the lid 2.

rIhe top of the lid may have a panel or space 20 for a monogram or the owners initials.

The foregoing description sets forth clearly the construction of the receptacle according to my invention and indicates that such a receptacle can veryeasily be made out of metal or other suitable material,

I easily operated and used for a long while without getting. out of order, breaking or suffering from wear. The contents vcan be i' put into the tray 12 and'removed or replaced and renewed whenever necessary. The catch 6 effectively keeps the casing shut and easily permits it to be opened.
